Before Wang Shi marched into Yizhou, he spent a long time preparing in Hanzhou, although this was the objective need of the campaign, but it also gave Yizhou some time to prepare for the war.

The three places of Dongyang, the new capital of Xinfan, are not only the hub of Chengdu connecting the north and south, but also the barrier of Chengdu.

In order to avoid such a situation, Meng Zhixiang had to increase troops in the three places.

But at present, Chengdu has a limited number of troops, less than 20,000 when it is full, and there are quite a lot of new pawns among them, and Meng Zhixiang can send even fewer troops.

The focus of Meng Zhixiang's troop increase was Dongyang, southeast of Chengdu, that is, the place where Guo Wei's troops marched.

Dongyang is the hub connecting Jianzhou and most of the states and counties in the south of Xichuan, the location is important, even if the new and new are lost, as long as Dongyang is not lost, on the one hand, Chengdu will not be alone against the Wang Division, and Dongyang can be the horns of each other, on the other hand, it is also convenient for the reinforcements of the southern states and counties of Xichuan to enter the battlefield, contain the Wang Division from the side, and even give the Wang Division a threat - although this possibility is very small, even if there are really "reinforcements"

, the power will not be too great, but at least there is hope.

The front-line military newspaper that surprised Li Congjing was the stalemate of the Dongyang War.

After several days of fierce fighting, the city has been captured, and now the two armies are restoring local order and preparing for the arrival of the main force of the army.

The military report sent back by Guo Wei said a different story.

"My department arrived in Dongyang, fought for days, and attacked the city several times, but the stubborn resistance of the Dongyang thief army was very resolute, and our department was never able to take the city. There are many people who dare to die in the thief army, and there are often counterattacks out of the city to attack our camp at night Yesterday our troops attacked the city, the thieves fought with me to the death in the streets, and the fierce battle failed to defeat the thieves for half a day, and had to withdraw after sunset When attacking the city today, the Meng thieves sent reinforcements to arrive, and our troops suffered a lot of damage."

Wei's battle report, Li Congjing did not rush to express his opinions, and signaled the staff to discuss it first.

The discussion among the staff was as fierce as ever, with some saying that Meng Zhixiang was cunning, and others blaming Guo Wei for his ineffective fighting.

"From the difference in the battle situation in Dongyang, the new capital, we can know the deployment of Xiang's battle in Yizhou, the first two were quickly conquered in expected, and Gaoxing Zhou Huangfulin did not mention the reinforcements in Chengdu in the war report, which shows that the Meng thief did not have much expectations for the war between the two places, and the Meng thief's defense was undoubtedly focused on Dongyang."

Mo Li said to Li Congjing, "From Guo Wei's battle report, it can be seen that Meng Thief not only enriched Dongyang's garrison in advance, but also sent troops to help each other repeatedly in the past few days, making it clear that he wanted to defend Dongyang to the death. Meng Thief is also interested, he knows that if he wants to hold on to all three places, the final result will be that he can't hold one place, so he concentrates his strength in one place. ”

Li Congjing bowed his head slightly, walked to the hanging map, and pointed to the Xichuan area with a long pole to the crowd: "The northeast of Xichuan is where my army is located, and our army seeks to capture the three places of Dongyang, the new capital, in the hope of expanding the offensive, and at the same time isolating Chengdu from other regions of Xichuan, forming a situation of encirclement of Chengdu." ”

And the way to deal with the Meng thief is to give up the two places of Xinfanxin in the northeast of Chengdu, protect Dongyang, abandon the northeast of Xichuan, where the situation has been eroded, and rely on the southeast and southwest of Xichuan. Xichuan Prefecture is mostly in the southeast and southwest of Chengdu, and Meng Thief's strategy is reasonable. ”

"Based on Guo Wei's recent battle report, it can be seen that the defense force of Meng Thief guarding Dongyang is at least comparable to Guo Wei's troops in terms of the number of soldiers."

Mo Li said, "If you want to take Dongyang in the short term, it may not be easy." ”

How important Dongyang is to Chengdu, how important it is to Wang Shi, Wang Shi is not unable to abandon Dongyang, concentrate the main force to attack Chengdu, but in this way, in the process of attacking Chengdu, it is inevitable to get twice the result with half the effort, only by taking Dongyang, Wang Shi can attack Chengdu with half the effort.

After Meng Zhixiang read Dongyang's battle report, his reaction was naturally different from Li Congjing's, his loud laughter echoed in the hall, and he said to everyone in the hall: "It is said that the thief army is invincible and invincible, this joke is ear, Dongyang is a small city, the thief army has gathered elite soldiers and cannot conquer it, I Chengdu sit back and relax!" ”

There was a sound of praise from below, Meng Zhixiang looked very useful, and said to everyone: "As long as Dongyang is not captured by the thief army, even if the thief army pours its main force to attack my Chengdu, the two places can also use each other's horns to invoke each other." At present, although the thief army is powerful, but it is only a surface, they have thousands of miles into Shu, the supply of grain and grass materials is difficult, where can compare to my Xichuan local battle to be powerful, the longer the war is more beneficial to me, in two months, in the cold winter, the thief army will inevitably collapse itself! ”

"What the big marshal said is extremely true!"

Su Yuan arched his hand, and said in a high-pitched voice, "I have a vast area in Xichuan, Jianzhou, Shuzhou, Meizhou, Jiazhou and other places, with sufficient materials, 100,000 elite soldiers, and a steady stream of supplies to Chengdu. ”

"I think of my son in Shu, I am not a brave fighter, as long as my generation works together to defend the two places in Chengdu and Dongyang, and when the weather turns cold, in winter, the thief army will inevitably retreat. In addition, a few days ago, Wu sent an envoy to Shu, saying that in the spring of the next year, it will inevitably send troops to Chudi, when Chengdu has thousands of people working together, and there are strong reinforcements outside, the situation in the world will change dramatically, and the difficulties in front of you are really not worth mentioning! ”

Su Yuan's voice was very demagogic, which made the listeners feel refreshed, and everyone in the hall felt that it was very reasonable.

As long as Chengdu can hold on for another two months and survive until the cold winter, the situation may really be reversed.

At that time, Wu Guo's troops to Chudi will inevitably affect the whole body, as long as Xichuan is not completely defeated, there will be a chance to make a comeback.

When he came out of the council hall, the sky was gloomy, Meng Zhixiang was looking forward to another continuous heavy rain from the sky, heavy rain weather is always not suitable for combat, now for Xichuan, time is a qiē, hold on until the cold winter and further support until the beginning of spring next year, Xichuan has the possibility of turning around.

Meng Zhixiang never thought that Xichuan had no hope, as long as he was not dead, his great cause would not die, no matter how difficult it was in front of him, it was just a test of God for personnel, which of the great achievements in the world was easy?

As for the haze of the defeat of the wolf bèi in Xuanwu City some time ago, it has long been swept away, and now Meng Zhixiang is still high-spirited.

As for Meng Yanyi's disappearance, although Meng Zhixiang felt sad, he was not disturbed at all.

Hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful.

Meng Zhixiang is not afraid of difficulties for half a minute, under the heavy pressure, his current state of mind is a little delicate, and he even faintly expects more difficulties to appear, because the greater the test, the greater the gain, and the more difficult the situation, the more he can show his means.

Meng Zhixiang even believes that his current response to hardships and hardships, and the means he has shown in the face of hardships and hardships, will inevitably become the capital that he will be proud of in the future.

What a romance that is!

Every time he thinks of this, Meng Zhixiang feels that his fighting spirit is high, which is why he has been more and more energetic recently.

When times are difficult, every time I read out of the teacher's watch, the twilight is like hearing Liang's father's chanting.

When the husband overcomes thorns and thorns, wades through the big river and crosses the dangerous peaks to overcome the difficulties, turns a thousand times, although the blood is wrapped in clothes and does not change his will, and then stands on the top of the mountains, stretches his arms to meet the rising sun, so that he can live up to the romance of this life!

The boy did not fulfill his life's ambition, and he was born with an eight-foot body.

Meng Zhixiang is more than sixty years old, and now if he doesn't fight with all his might, there will be no chance for Dapeng to spread his wings in this life, and in the history books of later generations, he will not be able to stand at the same height as Zhu Wen and Li Cunqiao, which is a pity for those with great ambitions!

Outside Chengdu, Meng Zhixiang stood in front of thousands of soldiers, which was the last batch of soldiers from Chengdu to aid Dongyang.

Meng Zhixiang can't come to Dongyang in person now, but he gave Dongyang Xichuan the most elite soldiers and the most courageous generals, in order to inspire Dongyang and Chengdu to live and die together.

Meng Zhixiang waved his hand, and a sergeant poured the bowl full of spirits in the hands of the thousand armor soldiers, he raised the wine bowl, and said loudly: "All the soldiers, you are the best soldiers in Xichuan, you and others are guarding Dongyang, this commander does not need to say much, a good man should be on the battlefield, and kill the enemy chief and drink the spirits to immediately take fame." ”

"The battle situation in Xichuan should not be taken lightly, and Ben Shuai does not intend to deceive you, the battle of Dongyang must be difficult. However, you and I were born as Xichuan people and died as Xichuan ghosts, we should advance and retreat together with one heart and one mind, and we dare not guarantee you anything else, only one, if you die on the battlefield, your parents, wives and children will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime! If Ben Shuai didn't do this, there was only one possibility, and that was that Ben Shuai died on the battlefield like you! ”

In the face of the passionate thousands of soldiers, the wine bowl in Meng Zhixiang's hand was raised higher, and his arm seemed to be more powerful, "Live and die together, live and die together, get through the difficulties together, and live and die together!" ”

"Live and die together, live and die together, get through the difficulties together, and live and die together!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, raised their necks one after another, drank the liquor in the bowl, and then smashed the bowl to make up their minds.

Meng Zhixiang's eyes burned Sigong, "General, Dongyang will entrust the hands of Er and others, from now on, this commander will look at each other day and night, waiting for good news!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll wait!"

Meng Sigong clenched his fists awe, turned over and got on his horse neatly, and stepped on the avenue with thousands of armor soldiers, and rushed to Dongyang without looking back.

Meng Zhixiang ascended to the top of the city and watched the snake-like procession drift away on the official road.

Dark clouds cover the sky, mountains and forests are like the sea, and the army on this expedition is fierce and fierce, with endless tragedy.

Meng Zhixiang's army seemed to be riding the wind and waves on the rough sea.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone.

Meng Zhixiang raised his head, his gaze looked firm and sharp under the gloomy sky, as if announcing to heaven and earth: I will not lose!
